Full textAbstract:
The process of second language vocabulary acquisition (L2VA) is
investigated by looking at the learning, teaching, learner and
environmental factors that affect the ways that adult Vietnamese learners of English acquire, store and use words. Data were
collected by examination of informants' diaries, recorded classes,
free conversations, interview-questionnaires and regular
interviews during the English program. The data show that the
process of building up the mental lexicon is slow, long and
complicated. For adult learners coming from different English and
job backgrounds, full time classroom learning is the biggest and
most important source of L2 word input. It is also in this
environment that the word storage and recall mechanisms are
most facilitated. The L2VA process varies according to individual
learners at different levels, with different learning goals,
motivations, determination, areas of interest and word learning
methods.
It is hoped that the findings of the study help increase Vietnamese
teachers' awareness of how to teach English vocabulary
effectively and how to help learners work out individually suitable
word learning methods.

Full textAbstract:
Si bien una considerable literatura afirma que las democracias tenderían a redistribuir el ingreso de ricos a pobres, incluso desde un punto de vista meramente procedimental, existe evidencia que apunta a señalar lo contrario: los regímenes democráticos pueden mantener e incluso acentuar la desigualdad, rasgo aún más evidente en países pobres o en vías de desarrollo. Esta tesis busca enfatizar un factor importante que interviene significativamente en la manera en que el ingreso se distribuye en contextos democráticos: el tipo de relaciones que las elites establecen. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo explorar hasta qué punto las relaciones de la élite afectan la redistribución del ingreso en contextos democráticos y de alta concentración de ingresos.
Tres hipótesis guían el desarrollo de esta tesis. En primer lugar, si las élites establecen relaciones cohesivas con i) las élites políticas, por una parte, y ii) con las élites militares, por otra parte, menor será la posibilidad de que el ingreso se redistribuya. Así mismo, entre más conflictivas sean las relaciones entre las élites terratenientes y la burguesía, mayor posibilidad de redistribución. Tomando países durante períodos de tiempo específicos como unidades de análisis, esta investigación usará el Análisis Histórico Comparado (AHC) como aproximación metodológica. Siguiendo el diseño de casos muy similares, El Salvador y Honduras fueron seleccionados como los casos a comparar.
Tres maneras de abordar los casos fueron consideradas. En primer lugar, usamos el rastreo de procesos para buscar explicaciones causales en la historia. En segundo lugar, dividimos los casos en tres períodos de tiempo diferentes, coincidiendo éstos con momentos coyunturales en la historia de los casos, un uso muy frecuente en la técnica de rastreo de procesos. En tercer lugar, codificamos las preferencias de los actores hacia programas de amplia redistribución que se implementaron o que se buscaba implementar durante tales momentos coyunturales. Nuestras hipótesis fueron confirmadas. Sin embargo, mientras las dos primeras se muestran como condiciones potencialmente suficientes, la tercera condición parece ser una condición del caso, mas no suficiente.
Palabras claves. Amenazas redistributivas en democracia; Redistribución del Ingreso; Cohesión intersectorial de la élite; Conflicto intersectorial de la élite; Economía Política<br>Despite the existence of a sizable body of literature claiming that democracy would tend towards income redistribution, even from a merely procedural perspective, there is evidence that points in the opposite direction: democratic regimes can maintain—even accentuate—inequality, more obviously so in poor or developing countries. This thesis wants to emphasize one important factor which strongly intervenes in the way income is allocated under democracy: the type of relationships the elites establish. This research aims to explore the extent to which elite’s relations affect income redistribution under contexts of democracy and of high income concentration.
Three hypotheses guide the development of this thesis. Firstly, if the economic elites establish cohesive relationships with i) the political elites, on the one hand, and ii) the military, on the other hand, the less the likelihood of income redistribution. Moreover, iii) the more conflictive the relations between the landed elites and the bourgeoisie are, the lower the likelihood of redistribution. Taking countries during certain periods of time as units of analysis, this research will use comparative historical analysis (CHA) as its methodological approach. Using the most similar cases design, El Salvador and Honduras were selected as the cases to compare.
Three ways to approach the cases were also considered. Firstly, we use process tracing in order to look for causal explanations in history. Secondly, we break each case in three different periods of time, coinciding such periods with critical junctures of the cases, a very frequent use in process tracing. Thirdly, we codify the preferences of the actors towards wide redistributive programs which were either implemented or planned during those junctures. Our hypotheses were confirmed. However, while the two first hypotheses are displayed as potential sufficient conditions, the third one seems to be only condition of a case.

Cette thèse est composée de trois chapitres. Chacun traite de l'un des aspects du rapport entre élites, définies par leur contrôle de la mise en oeuvre des politiques publiques, et développement, en particulier dans ses dimensions économiques et politiques. Elle met en valeur deux éléments : la structure économique de la société - qui contrôle quels actifs de production, et l'articulation entre différents détenteurs d'actifs au sein du processus de production - et l'environnement extérieur dans lequel s'inscrit une entité politique. Le premier chapitre propose un nouveau cadre dans lequel modéliser les conflits et les institutions de protection de la propriété privée. Celui-ci permet de mettre en valeur le rôle des complémentarités éventuelles entre actifs de production. Le deuxième chapitre examine le rôle de la mobilité des agents et de leurs actifs de production - exit, aurait dit Albert Hirschman - dans la détermination des politiques publiques. Les politiques publiques favorisent les détenteurs d'actifs les plus mobiles. En retour, ceux-ci s'enrichissent, et accèdent plus facilement à l'élite. Ce chapitre montre ensuite que ce mécanisme favorise les régimes patrimoniaux dans les pays en développement, et génère les conditions de l'existence des paradis fiscaux. Le troisième chapitre part du postulat qu'une guerre civile peut favoriser le déclenchement de guerres civiles dans les pays voisins. Le modèle permet d'expliquer le regroupement spatial et temporel des conflits, ainsi que plusieurs observations. En particulier, un pays souhaitant éviter la contagion d'une guerre civile a le choix d'améliorer ses institutions de propriété privée<br>This dissertation is composed of three chapters. Each covers one aspect of the role of elites, defined by their control over the implementation of public policies, and development, particularly in their economic and political dimensions. It emphasizes two aspects: the economic structure of society—who controls which productive assets, and how they can be combined in the production process—and the external environment of a given political entity. The first chapter offers a new framework in which to model conflicts and property rights institutions. This framework uncovers the role of the complementarity between various productive assets. The second chapter examines the role played by the mobility of productive assets—their exit option, would have said Albert Hirschman—in the determination of public policies. These favor the owners of the more mobile asset over those of less mobile ones. As a result, the former get richer, and it is easier for them to reach elite status. This chapter then argues that this mechanism accounts for the stability of the patrimonial elites in developing countries, and is at the heart of the existence of tax havens. The third chapter starts from the observation that civil war are contagious: civil war in one country may spill over to its neighbors. The model explains the spatial and temporal clustering of conflicts, as well as several observations. In particular, to avoid contagion from a neighboring civil war, a country may be in the position to improve its property rights institutions. It also offers a framework to discuss the motivations of foreign intervention in fragile regions

Dissertation thesis analyses the ideological processes of art discourse in the last decade of the 20th century – the formation and decline of different value related and ideological orientations, and their correlation, which makes an influence upon the changing conception of art and artist. These processes are analyzed referring to the reviews of the exhibitions of the discussed period, the exhibitions themselves, the declarations by the artists, who actively participated on the art scene, and their works, which were shaping the public art life. A separate attention is devoted to various layers of the artistic field – to the sociopolitical context, the works of art, the institutional exhibitions, and to the texts in cultural periodicals. The main aim of the thesis is to make a thorough analysis of the ideological and value related changes, which took place in the Lithuanian art discourse in the 1990s, and by underlining the artistic, institutional and sociopolitical contexts to reveal the changing content of symbolic constructions and their influence on the struggles for legitimization in the artistic field. The tasks of the research are: to define the role of the postsoviet intellectual (artist) in the Lithuanian art processes during the Rebirth period and in the years of independence; to explore the forms of politics of memory, which were established in the public discourse; to define the specificity of the concept of ideology in the postsoviet society; to analyze the...

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho é empreender uma avaliação do uso da internet pelas elites parlamentares de todos os estados brasileiros nos vários níveis e dimensões em que se dá esse uso. A partir das idéias de modos de concretização da democracia e de “graus de representação” buscaremos avaliar as várias dimensões da utilização das novas tecnologias pelas elites parlamentares brasileiras. Inicialmente, efetuamos um exame do grau de informação sobre o perfil social, a trajetória política, o comportamento parlamentar e a “inclusão digital” de tais elites, e elaboramos um indicador para avaliar o “grau de accountability” sobre os deputados estaduais apresentados em cada casa legislativa. Em seguida, faremos uma análise da relação entre os diferentes padrões de recrutamento dos deputados estaduais e de sua relação como o tipo de uso da web pelos deputados. Em terceiro lugar, uma análise de conteúdo dos websites dos deputados usuários da internet, a fim de mapear algumas experiências mais avançadas de participação e deliberação online. As principais hipóteses ou proposições que norteiam o presente enfoque são as seguintes: (i) há uma acentuada desigualdade no grau de disponibilização de informações e erramentas que possibilitem uma maior responsabilização (accountability) dos deputados nas diferentes casas legislativas; (ii) embora possamos detectar uma “fratura digital”(digital divide) no uso da internet pelos diferentes grupos de deputados na última legislatura, as variáveis políticas também devem ser levadas em conta para explicar os diferentes padrões de uso da internet pelos deputados estaduais brasileiros; (iii) apesar de mídias sociais tais como twitter, facebook e Orkut terem se difundido com relativa intensidade entre os deputados estaduais na última legislatura, ainda são raros casos bem sucedidos de processos participativos e deliberativos mais profundos a partir dos usos das ferramentas digitais.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Economics, 2010.<br>"September 2010." Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 146-157).<br>This dissertation consists of three essays on the behavior of political elites and their effect on economic development. The first two chapters focus on political dynasties in the Philippines while the third chapter analyzes the long-run economic effects of the concentration of political power in the state of Cundinamarca, Colombia. In Chapter 1, I use a regression discontinuity design based on close elections to estimate the causal effect of entering the political system on dynastic persistence. I find that candidates who barely win their first election are four times (22 percentage points) more likely to have a future relative in office than those who barely lose and never serve. The magnitude of the effect is remarkable and substantially larger than the effect on the intensive margin reported by Dal Bo, Dal Bo and Snyder (2009) for the United States. These results suggest that the prevalence of dynastic politicians does not simply reflect the existence of a fixed set of historically powerful families, but rather that the political system itself creates persistence. In Chapter 2, I study whether the introduction of term limits in 1987 by the Philippine Constitution was effective at breaking the dynastic pattern in Philippine politics documented in chapter 1. In particular, I explore the potential countervailing effects created by dynasties in response to the introduction of term limits: (1) replacement of term-limited incumbents by relatives and (2) running for a different office. I find that term limits are not effective in reducing the probability that the same family remains in power both in the short and long-run. Moreover, term limits made incumbents safer in their early terms before term limits bind, by deterring high-quality challengers who prefer to wait for the incumbent to be termed-out and run in an open-seat race. These results suggest that political reforms that do not modify the underlying sources of power of dynasties will be ineffective in changing the political equilibrium. In Chapter 3, which was co-authored with Daron Acemoglu, Maria Angelica Bautista and James Robinson, we explore the relative importance of political and economic inequality in explaining long-run development outcomes in the state of Cundinamarca, Colombia. Using micro data on land ownership we find that municipalities that were more unequal in the 19th century (as measured by the land gini) are more developed today. However, we argue that political rather than economic inequality might be more important in understanding long-run development paths and we document that municipalities with greater political inequality, as measured by political concentration, are less developed today. We also show that during this critical period the politically powerful were able to amass greater wealth, which is consistent with one of the channels through which political inequality might affect economic allocations. Overall our findings shed doubt on the conventional wisdom and suggest that research on long-run comparative development should investigate the implications of political inequality as well as those of economic inequality.<br>by Pablo Querubín.<br>Ph.D.

Full textAbstract:
<p>This paper presents an empirical case study of the company Elicom AB. Elicom AB is producing electrical devices that are mostly used in the telecom market where the main customers are. The data that was collected from this case was collected through observations, interviews and the study of company documents. This allowed the author to compare secondary and primary data, as well as quantitative and qualitative information. The problem, the company is facing in the logistical field, was discovered in the labeling production process.</p><p>The production of the labels is unnecessarily complicated and inefficient due to incompatibility of the computer systems. Therefore some parts of the label design have to be made manually, even though the company has a scanning system. When analyzing the problem in detail it became clear to the author that it could be fixed easily and fast and that the key individuals involved in the process already knew the answer to the problem. Therefore the question of the underlying cause of the problem arose. Why has the company not yet fixed the problem if it is so obvious and also everybody in the organization is aware of it?</p><p>When further reanalyzing the problem, the author discovered a second problem, which was not lying in the logistics of the production process, but had its roots in the organizational structure. The problem of interfering authorities and responsibilities made it impossible for the company to overcome the changes needed to solve the logistical problem in the labeling production process. Therefore this problem must be addressed first, together with overcoming the obstacles to change in the organization, to make a problem-solving-process in the logistical area possible.</p><p>In general this paper shows the interrelation of logistics with organization and the highly complex environment manufacturing companies are facing when it comes to changes in the production process.</p><br><p>Denna uppsats är en empirisk fallstudie som gjordes på Elicom AB. Elicom AB är en tillverkare av elektrisk apparatur som till mestadels används inom Telecom-marknaden, vilket också är den marknad som de flesta av företagets kunder finns inom. Den data som författaren samlat in är igenom observationer, intervjuer samt analys av olika interna företagsdokument. Detta gjorde att författaren kunde jämföra sekundär-och primär-data samt kvalitativ-och kvantitativ-data. Problemet som företaget hade framför sig var av logistisk karaktär och upptäcktes i etikettproduktionsprocessen.</p><p>Produktionen av etiketter är onödigt komplicerad och ineffektiv pga icke kompatibla datasystem. Därför sker visa delar av skapandet av etiketter manuellt, även om företaget har ett scanning system. Efter viss analys blev det dock klart för författaren att problemet var lätt att ordna upp och att huvudpersonerna som var involverade, i etikett hanteringen, visste om att problemet var lätt löst men gjorde inget åt situationen. Detta ledde till att författaren fråga sig vad den underliggande orsaken, till detta problem, kunde vara. Varför har inte företaget gjort något åt problemet om det har varit uppenbart för dem att problemet existerar?</p><p>När all information sedan om analyserades, upptäckte författaren ett andra problem vilket inte var inom logistikområdet utan hade sina rötter i organisationens struktur. Problemet med överlappande auktoritet, samt ansvarsområden, gör det omöjligt för företaget att lösa deras logistiska problem inom etiketthanteringen. Därför måste detta problem ses över först, samtidigt som inställningen till förändring måste ändras för att göra det möjligt att skapa en ”problem-lösnings-process” i den logistiska delen.</p><p>Generellt visar denna fallstudie på relationen mellan logistik- och organisation och på den mycket komplicerade miljön som tillverkande företag ställs inför vid en förändring av sina processer.</p>

Tardelli, Luca. "When elites fight : elites and the politics of U.S. military interventions in internal conflicts." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2013. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/783/.
Full textAbstract:
Military intervention in internal conflicts represents a recurrent practice in international history. This thesis provides a theoretical framework for the study of the political and sociological processes that lead political elites to militarily intervene in internal conflicts. Following the renewed interest in political elites both in Sociology and International Relations, the thesis draws on Elite Theory to address the dual nature of political elites as both domestic and international actors. In doing so, it develops a framework for the study of military intervention centred on political elites that overcomes the limits of existing contributions on the subject. In particular, the thesis highlights how interventionary policies are shaped by three overlapping causal antecedents: elites’ contending ideological claims; elites’ struggle for both domestic and international power; and the relationship established by the intervener’s elite with elite and counter- elite groups in the target state. The thesis tests the plausibility of the proposed framework by examining US decisions in three cases: US intervention in the Cuban War of Independence (1898-1902); US intervention in the Russian Civil War (1918- 1920); and US non-intervention in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). This analysis highlights three elements. First, ideological considerations set significant limits to US cooperation with leaders in the target country despite the strategic rationale for cooperation against common enemies. Second, the interplay between international and domestic political considerations represented a fundamental ‘push factor’, shaping the objectives US elites sought. Third, foreign elite groups played a crucial role in ‘pulling’ US interventions, both by representing local allies instrumental to Washington’s objectives and by directly accessing and influencing US decision-making processes. For the same reasons, the lack of these push and pull factors are key to explaining US non-intervention in the Spanish case. Overall, the thesis offers a twofold contribution to the study of military intervention. First, it explores how military intervention permits decision- makers to affect the ‘circulation of elites’ in both their own societies and in other societies. Second, it indicates how military intervention affects the international system by altering ideological homogeneity, international alliances and hierarchical relations between elites.

Buscaremos examinar as várias dimensões do uso da internet por este segmento das elites parlamentares, de modo a nos concentrar nos vereadores das capitais das regiões sul, sudeste e nordeste do Brasil, avaliando a utilização dos recursos digitais no cumprimento do mandato parlamentar. Para isso vamos procurar articular o estudo do uso das novas TICs pelos vereadores com algumas variáveis de background (contexto) e dos perfis socioeconômicos dos mesmos, a fim de caracterizar eventuais condicionantes desse processo. Trabalharemos com as seguintes hipóteses básicas: (i) vereadores com distintos perfis usam de forma desigual as tecnologias digitais, verificando-se uma fratura digital também no uso das novas tecnologias pelos vereadores brasileiros, de modo que os representantes dos estados e regiões com maior IDH e inclusão digital do eleitorado apresentem maior grau de uso de website e mídias sociais; (ii) devido aos incentivos institucionais vigentes no sistema político brasileiro (especialmente de seu sistema eleitoral), podemos observar um uso altamente personalizado dos recursos digitais pelos vereadores, embora tal uso personalizado não se distribua de maneira homogênea pelos diferentes partidos políticos e correntes político-ideológicas. Para demonstrar tais proposições, procuraremos aplicar uma metodologia sistemática de análise do uso das TICs pelos representantes pelo lado da "oferta", definindo inicialmente um indicador meramente quantitativo da magnitude dos recursos digitais utilizados pelos vereadores, analisando várias dimensões do uso da internet e das mídias sociais pelos representantes, e incorporando variáveis off-line para caracterizar subgrupos de parlamentares que usam a internet de maneira diferente. Dessa forma, vamos procurar caracterizar as diferentes estratégias de comunicação políticas empreendidas através das plataformas virtuais, bem como alguns dos condicionantes deste processo.

Sumich, James Michael. "Elites and modernity in Mozambique." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2005. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/831/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the connections between ideologies of modernity and social power for three interrelated sets of elites in Mozambique. My research is based on 20 months of ethnographic fieldwork primarily, but not solely, among the now adult children of high-ranking members of Frelimo (Mozambican Liberation Front, the ruling party since independence) and those closely associated with the party in the capital city of Maputo. It examines how elites’ transforming relationship to the project of modernity has allowed them to survive periods of dramatic social change while maintaining power, although in a modified form. The thesis argues that “local” understandings of modernity held by dominant groups in Mozambique have created the wider political field that unifies elites and creates the parameters in which they operate. It allows them both to control the positions that underwrite their social power and to attempt to justify their positions of power. The thesis examines the source of elites’ social dominance and how it has been transformed over the generations. I also investigate how recent social, political and economic changes have created a growing backlash among social groups who were once Frelimo’s strongest supporters. The thesis argues that through the acquisition and monopolisation of “modern” skills, such as high levels of education, elites can survive contested legitimacy because there are few who seem capable of replacing them.

L'auteur s'interroge sur les facteurs culturels et institutionnels dont depend le recrutement des sportifs de haut niveau en france et en allemagne. Il fait ensuite une comparaison entre la france et l'allemagne en ce qui concerne le recrutement social des elites en politique, dans l'administration et dans l'economie. Ces deux pays se pretent particulierement bien a une telle analyse : assez proches l'un de l'autre pour etre compares, les systemes sociaux et les conceptions politiques de la formation des elites presentent de reelles divergences qui peuvent etre presentees en rapport avec la culture respective de chaque pays. Cela se verifie tout a fait pour le sport de haut niveau. Certes, la france et l'allemagne ont des aspirations analogues en ce domaine, mais leurs interpretations de la representation nationale, leurs conceptions politiques du sport de haut niveau et leurs systemes de recrutement et de promotion renvoient a des principes nettement differencies. En s'appuyant sur la theorie et sur les recherches de pierre bourdieu, l'auteur fonde sa demonstration sur une objectivation sociologique des elites sportives ainsi que politiques, administratives et economiques dans les societes francaise et allemande, qui prend en compte la composition sociale mais aussi la nature de la separation institutionnelle qui s'instaure avec la societe ordinaire. Il fait apparaitre des <<modeles nationaux>> specifiques du recrutement des elites qui sont etroitement liees a la culture et a l'histoire de chaque pays. Ce qui revient a se demander quelles sont les normes d'apres lesquelles la societe respective juge de l'excellence de ses membres. Les elites francaises apparaissent comme des individus qui sont isoles institutionnellement et symboliquement en ce qui concerne leur position et leur prestige dans la societe. Par contre, les elites allemandes sont des elements de la communaute "organique" du peuple allemand ("gemeinschaft des deutschen volkes"), unie par sa nature et nonpas dissociee. Ces differences entre les elites des deux pays renvoient en un sens plus large a la dichotomie de la "gesellschaft" et de la "civilisation" en france et de la "gemeinschaft" et de la "kultur" en allemagne, laquelle est souvent reconnue comme antagoniste par l'ideologie allemande.

Previous issue date: 2010-09-27<br>This text is focuses on the topic of Tax Reform and, in particular, its difficulty to be approved by the Congress. As the Tax System is the basis of the maintenance of federalism, since without the sharing of tax revenues among the federal entities, there is no possibility to ensure their financial independence and thus also their autonomy, the federal context is presented as an obstacle, since Reform, besides looking forward to approaching the current Tax System to an ideal system, must seek to maintain a minimum autonomy of the mentioned entities, in order that the Federal Government system - an unchangeable rule of our Constitution - does not become Unitarian. In this context, the relationship among the Federal Executive, the State Executive and the National Congress, with respect to the approval of matters concerning the agenda of the Tax Reform, is of crucial importance to understand the obstacles that have led to the shutdown of the main projects related to that subject. It seems also important to understand the interplay among elites that results on substantial changes of such proposals and that occurs inside and outside the Congress. In this sense, rational choice theory proves to be a suitable tool to help this understanding. To reach the goal of this study – which is to list the obstacles that have prevent the success of projects aimed to promote comprehensive reform in the Brazilian Tax System - 28 interviews were held. The basic requirements to select the group to be interviewed were: to exercise their activities in the State of Pernambuco, and to have participated directly or indirectly in processes of Tax Reform, in particular the proposal that was presented in 2008 and turned out to be the PEC 233/08. We interviewed former ministers, former governors, former secretaries and secretaries of revenue of the three spheres of power, federal deputies, business leaders, governmental agencies and entities’s presidents or leaders, tax lawyers and agents of the state treasure. The results suggest that, although there are several obstacles very difficult to overcome and that they must be solved and discussed during the negotiations that should take place before the proposal will be sent to the Congress, the distributive conflict among the federal entities appears to be itself as the main problem to be observed. And this problem seems to be able to dissolve – or not to respect - the arrangements made concerning the political parties – coalitions of support and opposition to the Government. And this situation has the power to chance the main 'actors' in the process of negotiation related with these kind of matters. Therefore, the negotiations will happen involving only the Federal and the State Executives and no longer the Federal Executive and its coalition of support, as it normally occurs.<br>O presente texto está focado na temática da Reforma Tributária e, em particular, na sua dificuldade em ser aprovada pelo Congresso Nacional. Sendo o Sistema Tributário a base da manutenção do federalismo, já que sem a partilha das receitas tributárias entre os entes federados não há como assegurar sua independência financeira e, portanto, também sua autonomia, o contexto federativo se apresenta como um dificultador. A Reforma, além de tratar de aproximar o atual Sistema Tributário de um sistema ideal, tem que procurar manter uma autonomia mínima dos entes para que o Estado Federal – cláusula pétrea de nossa Constituição Federal - não se converta em Unitário. Nesse panorama, a relação entre o Executivo Federal, os Executivos Estaduais e o Congresso Nacional, no que tange à aprovação de assuntos ligados à agenda da Reforma Tributária, se reveste de fundamental importância para o entendimento dos obstáculos que têm levado à paralisação os principais projetos a ela ligados. Importante, também, se afigura o entendimento do jogo entre as elites que ocorre dentro e fora do Congresso Nacional, resultando substanciais alterações nessas propostas. Nesse sentido, a teoria das escolhas racionais se mostra uma ferramenta adequada para ajudar nessa compreensão. Para se alcançar o objetivo proposto - levantar os obstáculos que têm impedido o avanço de projetos que visem promover ampla reforma no Sistema Tributário brasileiro -, foram realizadas 28 entrevistas que tiveram com requisitos básicos para a seleção dos sujeitos: o de estarem exercendo suas atividades no Estado de Pernambuco; e de terem participado direta ou indiretamente em processos de Reformas Tributárias amplas, em particular, da proposta que foi apresentada em 2008 por meio da PEC 233/08. Foram entrevistados Ex-ministros de Estado, Ex-governadores, Secretários e Ex-Secretários das Receitas das três esferas de Poder, Deputados Federais, líderes empresariais, líderes de órgãos e entidades de classe, advogados tributaristas e agentes do fisco estadual. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que, embora existam diversos obstáculos de difícil superação e que devem ser esgotados em mesas de negociação antes de a proposta ser remetida ao Congresso Nacional, o conflito distributivo entre os entes federados se apresenta como o principal problema a ser observado. A sua presença parece ter a capacidade de romper o tecido partidário e dissolver as coalizões de apoio e de oposição ao Governo, repercutindo sobre o eixo da negociação que, para processos dessa natureza, passa a ser entre os Executivos Federal e Estaduais e não mais entre o Executivo Federal e sua coalizão de apoio, como normalmente ocorre.

Full textAbstract:
Esta tesis realiza un estudio situado en el largo plazo (1714-1919) de los cambios que sufrieron las elites en la ciudad de Barcelona. La tesis busca responder dos preguntas ¿Cuáles son, en el largo plazo, los procesos de creación de las elites económicas?, y ¿cómo se renueva la composición de las grandes fortunas?
Metodológicamente se combinan tres aproximaciones. Un análisis de las fuentes fiscales (contribuciones). Un estudio prosopográfico de las biografías de 125 individuos elegidos entre los mayores contribuyentes de los años 1853, 1883 y 1919, agrupados en 80 grupos familiares cuya presencia se ha rastreado durante los dos siglos que cubre la tesis. Y un análisis de la inversión realizada por las familias estudiadas.
Cada una de las aproximaciones está diseñada para analizar un aspecto de la evolución de las elites. La investigación de las fuentes fiscales demuestra el peso relativo que tuvieron las actividades comerciales, la pervivencia de un núcleo aristocrático y el incremento que tuvo la acumulación de bienes inmuebles en el largo plazo. El análisis de las variaciones de los apellidos de la contribución sirve como base para determinar los momentos de ruptura. La aproximación prosopográfica complementa el análisis anterior, analizando las causas que provocaron discontinuidades en las elites, cuáles fueron los momentos en que se abrieron ventanas de oportunidad para acceder a las elites y el peso relativo de los distintos grupos sociales. Esta aproximación pone de relieve el peso específico que tuvieron los indianos y la importancia que tuvo el periodo 1800-1840 en la formación de las elites. Por último, el análisis de la inversión demuestra que mientras que a mediados de siglo XIX las elites estudiadas impulsaron empresas, vinculadas a las tecnologías de la Primera Revolución Industrial, que buscaban transformar el territorio, durante el periodo finisecular las elites perdieron el liderazgo de las inversiones vinculadas a la Segunda Revolución Industrial, aunque mantuvieron una presencia destacada en el total del capital invertido en la ciudad.
A modo de conclusión se establece por un lado una clasificación en el largo plazo de las distintas etapas por las que fueron pasando las elites entre 1714 y 1919. Antes de 1714 las elites barcelonesas poseían los rasgos de una clase dirigente, entre 1714 y 1808 adquirieron rasgos aristocráticos debido a su vinculación con la lógica estamental. Durante la primera mitad del XIX la elite se transformó en una burguesía revolucionaria, que durante la segunda mitad del XIX adquirió rasgos oligárquicos. Y, por otro lado, la investigación demuestra el hecho de que las elites son capaces de pervivir en el largo plazo y que una vez consolidadas, establecen mecanismos para asegurarse su continuidad. En este caso los mecanismos están vinculados con la diversificación sus intereses (cuando era posible y rentable) y por una endogamia que sirve para acotar los círculos en los que se mueve el capital transferido. Ello no está exento, en el largo plazo, de una proporción no desdeñable de quiebras, dispersión de los patrimonios y malas inversiones que explica una parte de la renovación de las elites. Pero, aun así, a menos que se dé un impacto profundo en la sociedad (un conflicto o un cambio de paradigma tecnológico) la renovación de las elites proviene habitualmente de sus mismos rangos.<br>The extension of capitalism during the XIX Century fostered the creation of fortunes disproportionately big, which gave their owners an enormous and increasing economical and political influence. The evolution of these economic elite has been studied through different approaches. Although, we can found very few studies that track their inner changes and its origins, and even fewer focused in Southern Europe. This thesis project studies the evolution of Barcelona’s elites between 1714 and 1919 in order to achieve a deeper understanding of the mechanism that the families and individuals develop to increase or retain their economic position.
Methodologically the thesis presents a triple approach. Firstly, through an aggregate analysis of the evolution of taxes is possible to observe the weight of the commercial sector among the elite members, the progressive increase of wealth concentration, and to objectively identify the 125 wealthiest members of Barcelona for the years 1853, 1883 and 1919. Secondly, through a prosopographyc approach, we analyse the origin of the 125th great tax payers grouped in 80 families. Through this second approach we can conclude that fortunes were created only in some specific moments as nearly half the families’ origins can be tracked to the First Industrial Revolution and related to commercial activities. Among them the indianos (merchants deeply linked with the Spanish Antilles) plated an increasing role. Lastly, the analysis of the investment demonstrates that during the central years of the XIXth Century the elites fostered investment in newly disruptive companies that aimed to change society and the territory. By the end of the century this elites, although remained as big economic players in the city, failed to foster new companies linked to the Second Industrial Revolution.
All in all, the thesis concludes that families from elites are capable to stay among the highest economic ranks of the society in the long term through the development of mechanisms to ensure the transmission of the capital. And that unless there is a deep transformation inside the society (mainly wars or change in the technological paradigm) the renewal of the elites come from his own ranks.

Previous issue date: 2010-08-16<br>Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais<br>In view of the process of administrative decentralization promoted by the federal government, especially after the 1988 Constitution, the local level becomes crucial regarding the implementation of public policies and the promotion of economic development. Thus increases the importance of local political elites who will be responsible for more significant policy decisions with immediate impact on the citizen s lives. This research analyzes the process of recruitment of political elites in Caraguatatuba County during the period corresponding to the years 1970 to 2000. We attempt to correlate changes in the social composition of the elite to the social and economic transformations occurring in the city during this period as well as the institutional transformations occurred in the country. We emphasize the processes of political integration of social agents concerning to the mechanisms leading to conversion of social resources into political capital for the establishment of elites at the local level.<br>Considerando o processo de descentralização administrativa promovida pelo governo federal, sobretudo após a Constituição de 1988, o nível local passa a ser fundamental quanto à implementação de políticas públicas e à promoção do desenvolvimento econômico.

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo a análise do processo de recrutamento das elites políticas no município de Caraguatatuba, no período correspondente aos anos de 1970 à 2000. Procura-se relacionar as mudanças ocorridas na composição social da elite com as transformações sociais e econômicas ocorridas no município no período enfocado, além das transformações institucionais ocorridas no país. Atentamos para os processos de inserção política de agentes sociais no que se refere aos mecanismos de reconversão de recursos sociais em capital político, para a constituição de elites em âmbito local.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>This research aims to analyze how the social columnism serving elites of consecration instrument. It starts from the principle that social columnism is legitimate tool of social groups occupying strategic positions in society. Including the craft originates from positions of ratification demand of "great families" US traditional who lost power and prestige space for the new rich who emerged from the post Civil War. It is noted from the office of the emergence direct linkage between these two groups, the columnism establishing itself as one more tool in the consecration strategies of individuals concentrated in the social centers of power. To cope with the problem, the research was subdivided into three stages. The first aimed to highlight the consecration modes anchoring to the paths taken by certain individuals and groups, the strategies adopted (political coordination, the associations of power groups, political militancy, complimentary sessions congregation ceremonies, etc.) and social resources acquired during the socialization paths in different social spheres (family, school, college, professional, etc.), and bring to light the socio-historical and geographical circumstances that made it possible for such individuals and groups came to power spheres. The second phase aims to present social demands and socio-historical conditions that allowed the emergence of the craft of social columnist. It also exposes how the craft was noted as lucrative source for media companies, allowing the consolidation of the positions of gossip columnists and expanding their spaces in the newspapers. Besides showing attempts to establish the office of borders, demands by definition, for organization and control, to be seen as subarea of the journalism profession, rather interpreted craft and minimally recognized. The third set out to elucidate how the gossip columnists who make up the craft in Sergipe launch strategies, develop skills and accumulate social resources aimed at social consecration. So are explained the composition and characteristics of Sergipe gossip columnists are presented the routine work, the skills developed, the codes shared by working in the office, also they consume, how they build their numbered schedules, among other aspects. The main objective is to carry out the survey of biographical information (social origin, parents´ occupations, educational background, college and professional careers, travel, inserts in different spheres, marriage, tastes and lifestyles, etc.) in order to reveal how accumulate resources, launch strategies, develop skills for both self-consecration as the consecration of individuals and groups leaders. This part also contains an account of the observations noted in the field of daily counting to extract information to provide complete responses to the survey. The empirical universe considered consists of 6 active social columnists in newspapers Sergipe Mail, Journal of the City and Cinform. The research allowed to show that the columnists consecrated by developing certain skills, such interactional, creating strategies such as the marketing staff, mobilizing action repertoires, the lexicon adjective due to the creation of "good pictures", becoming important piece of gears and power structures.<br>Esta pesquisa objetiva analisar como o colunismo social serve de instrumento de consagração de elites. Parte-se do princípio de que o colunismo social é ferramenta legítima dos grupos sociais que ocupam postos estratégicos na sociedade. Inclusive o ofício origina da demanda de ratificação de posições das grandes famílias tradicionais norte-americanas que perdiam poder e espaço de prestígio para os novos ricos que emergiram do pós Guerra Civil. Nota-se desde o surgimento do ofício o atrelamento direto entre estes dois grupos, o colunismo constituindo-se como uma ferramenta a mais dentro das estratégias de consagração dos indivíduos concentrados nos núcleos sociais de poder. Para dar conta do problema, a pesquisa foi subdivida em três momentos. O primeiro teve por objetivo evidenciar os modos de consagração ancorando-se nos caminhos percorridos por determinados indivíduos e grupos, as estratégias adotadas (articulação política, associações a grupos de poder, militâncias política, sessões elogiosas, cerimônias de congregação, etc.) e os recursos sociais adquiridos durante os percursos de socialização nas diferentes esferas sociais (familiar, escolar, universitária, profissional, etc.), além de trazer a lume as circunstâncias sócio-históricas e geográficas que possibilitaram que tais indivíduos e grupos chegassem às esferas de poder. O segundo momento teve por finalidade apresentar as demandas sociais e condições sócio-históricas que permitiram o surgimento do ofício de colunista social. Expõe também como o ofício foi notado como fonte lucrativa pelas empresas de comunicação, permitindo a consolidação das posições dos colunistas sociais e ampliação seus espaços nos jornais. Além de mostrar as tentativas de estabelecimento das fronteiras do ofício, das demandas por definição, por organização e controle, por ser tido como subárea da profissão de jornalismo, um ofício pouco interpretado e minimamente reconhecido. O terceiro se propôs a elucidar como os colunistas sociais que compõem o ofício em Sergipe lançam estratégias, desenvolvem habilidades e acumulam recursos sociais objetivando a consagração social. Assim, são explicitadas a composição e as características dos colunistas sociais sergipanos, são apresentados a rotina de trabalhos, as habilidades desenvolvidas, os códigos compartilhados pelos atuantes no ofício, também o que consomem, como constroem suas agendas de contados, entre outros aspectos. O objetivo central é realizar o levantamento de informações biográficas (origem social, ocupações dos pais, percurso escolar, trajetórias universitária e profissional, viagens, inserções em distintas esferas, matrimônio, gostos e estilos de vida, entre outros) a fim de desvelar como acumulam recursos, lançam estratégias, desenvolvem habilidades tanto para a auto-consagração quanto a consagração dos indivíduos e grupos dirigentes. Esta parte ainda traz um relato das observações anotadas no diário de campo contando o que extraí de informações para fornecer respostas completas à pesquisa. O universo empírico considerado é composto por 6 colunistas sociais atuantes nos jornais Correio de Sergipe, Jornal da Cidade e Cinform. A pesquisa permitiu mostrar que os colunistas consagram através do desenvolvimento de certas habilidades, a exemplo interacional, da criação de estratégias, tais como a do marketing pessoal, da mobilização dos repertórios de ações, do léxico adjetivado em função da criação das boas imagens , constituindo-se peça importante das engrenagens e estruturas de poder.

Tese apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Doutor em Ciência Política/Elites e Pensamento Político<br>Após a queda do regime dinástico, o Estado liberal continuou a manter a mesma estrutura na I República portuguesa, entre 1910 e 1926. Findou a transição familiar da Coroa e mudaram os destinatários do recrutamento político, mas mantiveram-se os mecanismos de carreira, o voto capacitário e, sobretudo, a instabilidade política. Leiria foi um espelho muito próximo da realidade nacional, no que toca a continuidades e descontinuidades dos protagonistas e das práticas políticas.
Com a mudança para o regime autoritário, entre 1926 e 1974, Leiria continuou a acompanhar as lógicas de recrutamento e de ação da generalidade do País, com uma nova particularidade que passava pela proximidade geográfica de Fátima, cujo impacto popular não deixou de influenciar, de forma marcante, as elites leirienses que, mesmo com as possibilidades de desenvolvimento surgidas na década de sessenta, não se conseguiram autonomizar com projetos alternativos e representativos de largos estratos da população.
Também com o regime democrático, depois de 1974, a influência inicial da Igreja Católica foi visível, assim como a transferência de parte de “aparelho” partidário da Ação Nacional Popular para os novos Partido Popular Democrático e Centro Democrático Social. Por outro lado, só na década de noventa, a participação feminina começou a ser efetiva na política e nos centros de decisão locais.
Excetuando, contudo, uma ou outra particularidade, até ao final do séc. XX, Leiria não terá fugido ao retrato geral das cidades médias de província, tal como poderemos observar nas suas elites políticas, através dos seus representantes parlamentares, dos governadores civis e dos presidentes das Câmara, ao longo de 90 anos de República. Contudo, as particularidades existentes e diferenciadoras, merecerão uma atenção e análise especiais

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the motivations for adopting multiculturalism. To this end, it examines a phenomenon that is commonplace in everyday life but is curiously absent from the academic literature: power. I argue that power provides a better causal explanation for the adoption of multiculturalism than previous explanations, such as desecuritization, and renders justifications for multiculturalism based exclusively on moral grounds insufficient and impractical in the world of politics. I divide the analysis into two parts: power acquisition as a factor that prompts dominant groups to enact multicultural policies, and power as a factor that enables non-dominant groups to mobilize for greater rights. In the process, I examine the structure of power in the modern nation-state, and claim, in short, that it is not only a network of boundaries, rules and institutions, but also an instrument used to delimit independence. I also claim that dominant groups will be most amenable to accepting multiculturalism if it does not alter the existing power praxis, and even reinforces the authority of the bearers of power. In areas of the world where multiculturalism is perceived as granting minorities too much power, it has been and will continue to be outright rejected. Moreover, I contend that minorities are not powerless and can effectively mobilize to acquire greater rights by engaging in ‘counterpower’. Ultimately, I conclude that the realistic prospects of diffusing multiculturalism, in light of the analysis of power, are poor, since in many areas of the world, authorities have too strong a grasp on power, and the counterpower of the masses is concordantly too weak. In this respect, a focus on the concept of power with regard to the adoption of multiculturalism reflects the political reality.

Resumo: O objeto de estudo do presente trabalho é a estrutura de parentesco formada no sistema judicial do Paraná (Desembargadores, Juízes, Procuradores de Justiça, Promotores de Justiça, Cartorários, Advogados etc.), em razão da existência de alguns casos de propagação de determinados grupos familiares, os quais ocupam posições dominantes, desde o período da colonização do país até os dias atuais. Procura-se investigar um fenômeno da nossa realidade local e compreender os mecanismos de formação, reprodução e manutenção dessas famílias apesar das diversas mudanças da conjuntura sociopolítica. Para tanto, é feita uma análise utilizando o método de pesquisa prosopográfico de acordo com a apreciação das biografias (método genealógico) restrita a três famílias exponenciais do sistema judicial paranaense, que constituem um clã jurídico. Portanto, tornou-se essencial a nossa pesquisa à verificação das informações básicas dos biografados, isto é, datas, trajetórias de vida, relação de parentesco, locais, educação, profissão, itinerário social, econômico, cultural, político. E a instituição do patrimônio como dinâmica do empreendedorismo e das relações econômicas e políticas do ator social e o seu lugar na estrutura social de poder.

Tesis para optar al grado de Magíster en Administración (MBA)<br>Autor no autoriza el acceso a texto completo de su documento (Parte II)<br>Autor no envía autorización para ingreso de su documento (Parte I)<br>El deporte, tanto en Chile como en el mundo ha presentado un crecimiento explosivo en los
últimos 10 años y esto se encuentra directamente relacionado con la distribución de nuestro
tiempo y en esta industria encontramos interesados dispuestos a pagar por: ser espectadores, o
participar de algún evento. En todos estos casos podemos ver el deporte desde una perspectiva
empresarial.
Como parte del entorno, podemos destacar que bajo un contexto de estabilidad y crecimiento,
la estructura de gastos dentro del presupuesto familiar se va adaptando a las necesidades e
intereses de quienes componen ese núcleo y proporciona la oportunidad de destinar más
fondos a actividades que son valoradas como parte del tiempo libre. que sean para ellos
innovadoras y motivadoras.
Es así como nace la oportunidad de negocio de Sport Club, buscando satisfacer esa necesidad
de practicar deportes grupales invirtiendo el mínimo tiempo en su organización y que permita
competir y compartir con otros cuyos intereses sean similares: Deporte, desafíos, nuevos
amigos y entretención. Es este contexto podemos ver una gran oportunidad de incorporar como
valor agregado la innovación, permitiendo de esta forma ofrecer una alternativa diferente y
atractiva, cuyo vinculo no es sólo resolver la necesidad de recreación, sino que también de
competir y desafiar.
Si bien existen importantes competidores, Como MundoSport, Porligas y Ligas femeninas, en
todos ellos vemos un producto estándar, pero con Sport Club, buscamos la forma de incentivar
de una manera innovadora a quienes quieren practicar futbol, con el minino esfuerzo, de una
manera cercana y personalizada. Nuestra apuesta es invitar a SC a todo aquel amante del
deporte “rey” a practicarlo sin ser profesional en forma competitiva, de una manera entretenida y
simple de organizar, mediante una plataforma en internet, que nos permita dar a conocer
nuestros productos, lugares, horarios y rivales! es decir, todo lo necesario con sólo un contacto
y listo…llegar al recinto deportivo, jugar, desafiar y lo que todos queremos …ganar.

Bambino, Linda E. "Physician Communication Behaviors That Elicit Patient Trust." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2006. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/2185.
Full textAbstract:
The general relationship between the physician and the patient is one where communication is used to establish and maintain what will likely become a long-term partnership. Health communication research indicates that physicians who have apt communication skills in the patient-physician relationship develop a platform of trust behaviors. The physician communication behaviors perceived to elicit trust reported by patients are; comfort/caring, agency, competence, compassion and honesty. The objective of the research project was to assess patient perceptions of previously determined physician communication behaviors that predict patient trust through individual surveys (N=162) between foreign-born international medical graduates and American-born non-IMG resident physicians. Patients reported finding a difference in the exhibited communication behaviors between non-IMG and IMG resident physicians, with the exception of comfort/caring. A modified Trust Model guided the research and supported certain prior findings, claiming that effective communication cannot exist in the absence of a solid, trusting physician-patient relationship.

Centrando-se no estudo do ensino secundário, Elites e Educação constitui o terceiro livro da trilogia historiográfica que iniciámos com a publicação de Entre a Escola e a Lavoura. A temática da alfabetização fora, então, o ponto de partida da investigação, seguindo-se-lhe Com Engenho e Arte, estudo focado no ensino técnico.
O presente livro, que apresenta uma forte dimensão de educação comparada, com particular ênfase nos países da Europa do Sul, não se furta a contrapor as profundas clivagens existentes nos sistemas de ensino continentais. Assume tais clivagens como matriciais na construção do sistema português e enquadra os casos estudados (ensinos clássico e técnico em Évora) naquela dimensão. Contudo, o fulcro do esforço de investigação é carreado para o estudo do ensino clássico, representado pelo Liceu de Évora, cuja posição cimeira em matéria de oferta formativa é inquestionável. Este instituto permitia aos estudantes, oriundos de todo o Sul, concluírem o ciclo de estudos secundários, quaisquer que fossem as suas opções, curso geral, complementar, ciências ou letras. Este facto garantiu, durante quase um século, um estatuto de exclusividade relativamente aos liceus situados a Sul do rio Tejo e assegurou à cidade de Évora centralidade na função educativa em toda a Região do Alentejo. O retorno dos estudos superiores à cidade, na década de setenta do século XX, retirou ao Liceu o estatuto de primeira instituição de ensino, fenómeno que intensificou com a proliferação das novas escolas secundárias, que propunham idêntica oferta formativa, no quadro da massificação do acesso ao ensino depois de 1974.
A compreensão do papel que o ensino clássico desempenhou na cidade ficaria seriamente limitada sem a necessária comparação com o ensino técnico. A instalação de uma unidade representativa deste segmento de ensino na cidade (1914) viria a alterar, por completo, o comportamento da oferta e da procura em Évora. Deste ponto de vista, este livro contraria a ideia propagada por alguma historiografia de que o ensino técnico não contribuiu para a formação de elites. De facto, pensamos ter demonstrado, em primeiro lugar, que a criação de um novo segmento de ensino promoveu as elites políticas que lograram alcançar tal desiderato. Em segundo lugar, o processo de distinção proporcionado pela frequência do ensino clássico intensificou-se com a redução drástica dos alunos recrutados em posições ocupacionais mais baixas, que passaram procurar as fileiras de formação proporcionadas pelo ensino técnico, sobretudo quando a Escola Industrial e Comercial Gabriel Pereira, nos anos de 1920, completou as suas valências (Curso Comercial).

Bush, Eliot Christen. "Evolution and Scaling in Mammalian Brains." Thesis, Connect to this title online, 2004. https://thesis.library.caltech.edu/1191/1/eliot-bush-thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
<p>Here I look at three stages in the evolutionary development of mammalian brains. Chapter one addresses how connectivity in neocortex scales with brain size. This is of evolutionary interest because it helps define the basic mammalian condition. Neocortical white matter increases disproportionately in large brains. This might reflect increases in the number of connections per neuron. It might also reflect scaling in axon diameter. I compare these hypotheses by examining white matter-gray matter scaling in cerebellum. Because the white matter of cerebellum lacks cortico-cortical connections, the connectivity theory predicts that cerebellar white matter should not hyperscale relative to gray matter. I have measured white matter and gray matter volume in a large sample of mammals and I find that cerebellar white matter does not hyperscale. This supports the proposition that neocortical hyperscaling reflects an increase in the number of connections per neuron in large brains.</p>
<p>In chapter two I use independent contrasts analysis to examine the scaling of frontal cortex in a large sample of mammals. I find significant differences in scaling between primates and carnivores. Primate frontal cortex hyperscales relative to the rest of neocortex and the rest of the brain, and the primate slope is significantly greater than that for carnivores. This suggests that there are substantial differences in frontal cortex structure and development between the two groups. Combined with with anatomical differences, it suggests that primates have evolved a number of unique adaptations in frontal cortex.</p>
<p>Chapter three examines the evolution of brain size in anthropoid primates. Living anthropoids have larger brains than strepsirrhines. What about early anthropoid fossils? I measure brain size in the early anthropoid Parapithecus grangeri using computed tomography. I find that relative to the living anthropoids, Parapithecus had a small brain for its body size. Thus large brains did not develop at the same time as a number of other anthropoid adaptations.</p>

Gray, Will. "T.S. Eliot among the Metaphysicals." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/3123.
Full textAbstract:
Eliot's admiration for the poetry of the seventeenth century is well known. However, the several documents that explore the subject (thinly scattered across decades) fail to constitute a full account. Drawing on manuscript and print sources, and tracing particularly Eliot's prose poetics, this thesis redresses the scholarly need for a nuanced account of Eliot's role among the Metaphysical poets. The relationship ran in both directions, most famously in Eliot's championing of the poets and his urging that they find a new readership. His part in the revival of Metaphysical poetry, though, has been greatly exaggerated and the record is here faithfully adjusted. He was not in any way responsible for that revival, though he is its most important product, as is shown by a careful reconstruction of turn-of-the-century transcontinental publishing and reception. Eliot's criticism tells its own, largely unexplored story about the Metaphysicals and their influence on his critical and poetic sensibility. Most scholars, for instance, know that Eliot loved Donne, but few know the origin of that interest, let alone its brief nature or the personal reasons that drove him to appreciate the poet's audacity. Most also know the Modernist dicta of Tradition, objective correlative and the dissociation of sensibility, but not the fact that each owes something to Eliot's thinking about Donne. Engaging with Harvard class notes, under-consulted textbooks and a close study of Eliot's articles from the 1910s, two separate chapters investigate his education and early prose, along with their delicate dance between impersonality and confessional criticism. 1921-1926 marks a crucial stage in Eliot's writing, both for his poetry and his criticism. The Metaphysicals provide the clearest barometer of that change as well as the space where he approached conversion. This thesis is the first to trace the poets throughout Eliot's criticism, one of the first to engage with his Metaphysical-themed Clark Lectures, and the first to move far past Eliot's conversion, interpreting George Herbert as typical of his late mindset. In 1961 Eliot claimed no one had been as influenced by the Metaphysical poets as he had been. What this thesis offers is not only a more nuanced portrait of that influence but also a glimpse into the educational, critical and reading cultures of the early 1900s.

Full textAbstract:
The present thesis is about aspects of Wagnerism in the works of T.S. Eliot, in terms of both influence and affinities. The opening chapter offers a brief historical background to Eliot's familiarity with and relation to Wagner, as well as an account of the principal issues to be discussed in the following chapters. The two artists' volumes of criticism mostly show in theory how they work in practice. One key theme there is the maintenance of the idea of tradition and at the same time that of revolutionizing the arts (poetry, opera and drama). Eliot's interest in music, notably in the use of the Wagnerian leitmotif, is one of the highlights of this study. Then, Eliot's concern for myths: his 'mythical method' is discussed in a separate chapter for comparison with Wagner's way of handling myths in his operas. Other important topics feature drama, the Greeks and Shakespeare, and poetry, especially Dante's, the Romantics' and that of the French Symbolists. Certain themes common in both (like salvation and love) are tackled in more than one chapter because of their relevance throughout, but a selection of motifs is singled out in a separate chapter. The study also investigates Eliot's and Wagner's relation to art and life from religious (Buddhism and Christianity) and philosophical (Schopenhauer and Nietzsche) paints of view. Where relevant, some biographical data shedding light on their arts are touched upon--e.g. their personal (including marital) experiences and their anti-Semitism. The concluding chapter rounds off the subject by mainly offering some possible reasons for Eliot's obscure and neglected Wagnerism.

Wang, Tao. "Elias Gamma Error Correction Code." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2016. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/400268/.
Full textAbstract:
Shannon’s source-channel coding separation theorem states that near-capacity communication is theoretically possible, when employing Separate Source and Channel Codes (SSCCs), provided that an unlimited encoding/decoding delay and complexity can be afforded. However, it is typically impossible to remove all source redundancy with the aid of practical finite-delay and finite-complexity source encoding, which leads to capacity loss. As a potential remedy, Joint Source and Channel Codes (JSCCs) have been proposed for exploiting the residual redundancy and hence for avoiding any capacity loss. However, all previous JSCCs have been designed for representing symbols values that are selected from a set having a low cardinality and hence they suffer from an excessive decoding complexity, when the cardinality of the symbol value set is large, leading to an infinite complexity, when the cardinality is infinite. Motivated by this, we propose the family of Unary Error Correction (UEC), Elias Gamma Error Correction (EGEC) and Reordered Elias Gamma Error Correction (REGEC) codes in this thesis. Our family of codes belong to the JSCC class designed to have only a modest complexity that is independent of the cardinality of the symbol value set. We exemplify the application of each of the codes in the context of a serially concatenated iterative decoding scheme. In each coding scheme, the encoder generates a bit sequence by encoding and concatenating codewords, while the decoder performs iterative decoding using the classic Logarithmic Bahl, Cocke, Jelinek and Raviv (Log-BCJR) algorithm. Owing to this, our proposed codes are capable of mitigating any potential capacity loss, hence facilitating near-capacity operation. Our proposed UEC code is the first JSCC that maintains a low decoding complexity, when invoked for representing symbol values that are selected from a set having large or even infinite cardinality. The UEC trellis is designed to describe the unary codewords so that the transitions between its states are synchronous with the transitions between the consecutive codewords in the bit sequence. The unary code employed in the UEC code has a simple structure, which can be readily exploited for error correction without requiring an excessive number of trellis transitions and states. However, the UEC scheme has found limited applications, since the unary code is not a universal code. This motivates the design of our EGEC code, which is the first universal code in our code family. The EGEC code relies on trellis representation of the EG code, which is generated by decomposing each symbol into two sub-symbols, for the sake of simplifying the structure of the EG code. However, the reliance on these two parts requires us to carefully tailor the Unequal Protection (UEP) of the two parts for the specific source probability distribution encountered, whilst the actual source distribution may be unknown or non-stationary. Additionally, the complex structure of the EGEC code may impose further disadvantages associated with an increased decoding delay, loss of synchronisation, capacity loss and increased complexity due to puncturing. This motivates us to propose a universal JSCC REGEC code, which has a significantly simpler structure than the EGEC code. The proposed codes were benchmarked against SSCC benchmarkers throughout this thesis and they were found to offer significant gains in all cases. Finally, we demonstrate that our code family proposed in this thesis can be extended by several potential directions. The sophisticated techniques that have been subsequently proposed in the thesis for extending the UEC code, such as irregular trellis designs and the adaptive distribution-learning algorithm, can be readily applied to the REGEC codes which is an explicit benefit of its simple trellis structure. Furthermore, our proposed REGEC code can be extended using techniques that been subsequently proposed for extending the EGEC both to Rice Error Correction (RiceEC) codes and to Exponential Golomb Error Correction (ExpGEC) codes.

Embora a maternidade seja um tema constante em sua produção ficcional, ela não tem sido suficientemente explorada nos inúmeros estudos críticos que identifiquei sobre a obra da escritora. O foco desses estudos quase nunca se volta para suas personagens femininas, para suas experiências, apesar de os romances de Eliot nos apresentarem uma rica variedade de mulheres de diversas classes sociais da sociedade vitoriana, com diferentes e complexas experiências, inclusive a da maternidade. Eliot, que optou por não ter filhos, retrata mães em diversas situações, apresentando desde aquelas mulheres que exercem o papel de mães tradicionais, até mulheres que se tornam transgressoras dos valores da época e desafiam esse papel. Objetivo analisar a representação da maternidade em seus sete romances – Adam Bede (1859), Silas Marner (1860), The Mill on the Floss (1861), Romola (1863), Felix Holt, The Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1874) e Daniel Deronda (1876) – desenvolvendo novas leituras de sua produção ficcional, a partir da perspectiva dos estudos feministas e de gênero. Com esse estudo, espero contribuir para novas perspectivas sobre esse tema e para a problematização e desconstrução de valores e mitos patriarcais. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT<br>The present work aims to analyze the theme of motherhood in the novels of the 19th century English writer Mary Ann Evans, who published her writings under the pseudonym George Eliot. Although motherhood is a recurrent theme in her fictional production, it has not been sufficiently explored in the innumerable critical studies I identified about her work. The focus almost never is on her female characters, on their experiences, though Eliot’s novels present a rich variety of women of diverse social classes of Victorian society, with different and complex experiences, including motherhood. Eliot, who opted against having children, portrays mothers in different situations, presenting those women who perform the role of traditional mothers and women who become transgressors of the values of the epoch and defy this role. I intend to analyze the representation of motherhood in her seven novels – Adam Bede (1859), Silas Marner (1860), The Mill on the Floss (1861), Romola (1863), Felix Holt, The Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1874) e Daniel Deronda (1876) – developing new readings of her fictional production, from the perspective of the feminist and gender studies. With this study I hope to contribute to new perspectives of this theme and to the problematization and deconstruction of patriarchal values and myths.
